"I did." She said with a nod and a grin that had become an amused smile. Looking back, that night had been epic. First night at Hogwarts and she was taking on Second Years. "It's nothing to worry about, especially since you're a Hufflepuff. Have you seen you're lead on the scoreboard? Five points has nothing on you."
Oh and there we go! He was getting the idea and found it just as funny as she had. "Exactly. My Mama Vivi told me that idiots are everywhere. I find learning to laugh at them helps." REALLY, it did.
Lex beamed proudly at his excitement about the books. He reminded her of her when she'd first seen them in the shop. And well, she already had a list of the ones she would try learning so lending him a book or two wouldn't have hurt. "Just promise me you'll be careful and won't hurt yourself. Start real simple and work your way up." Some good advice from a reckless Gryffindor. There was something you didn't see every day.
"But sure! Once we're done here you can walk with me to my Common Room.".........He wanted to learn? "Alright! Get your wand out. Once you have it I'll remove the charm and you can try on this little guy." Only after she was sure he wouldn't hurt himself or the butterfly.
Yeah, Forrest SQUIRMED good-uncomfortably. He blushed, looking everywhere but her eyes. He didn't know how to take compliments--that WAS a compliment, right? He offered her a smile though and shrugged.
"I'm a Hufflepuff." The most modest house ever. He fitted in perfectly.
"Yeah but what if--" He halted abruptly and looked away. He didn't want to reveal his nightmares to her. She might be scared or something. He sighed and shrugged again.
"I suppose five points are affordable." Hopefully. He still should pay a visit to the old man though and see what he could do for him. Maybe he could earn the points back... hmm... if only he knew his name...
Mama Vivi? "I'll try to laugh at them more often." Even if he was usually prone to crying his lungs outs. Who knew? Maybe laughing would help better.
"Yes, sure." He would do
anything to get the books and learn how to defend himself. And of course, he didn't just say that. He'd keep his promise to Alexa before to anyone else.
Now... learning time. He got his wand out of his pocket, but gasped and waved his hands frantically to stop her from removing the charm.
"I don't know the words and wand movement!" He didn't want to blast anything!
